Kalalau Kayak Trip

Image
We've been wanting to Kayak into Kalalau for a while, but were not able to get permits for a couple years and it finally happened.  We left from Haena and finished in Kekaha with stops at Kalalau and Milolii.  It was quite the adventure with helping others and I think next time we will do it just the two of us.  Here are the pics in no particular order. Hiking up the box canyon at Milolii Cruising along the coast The Kayak with the owner that didn't make it Brad showing us his old stomping grounds There may have been some towing going on here...
